2m 17s
The De La Riva guard is when you control one leg with your outside leg hook and your ankle grip. You also control the opponent's angle with the other leg on the hip or upper thigh. When the opponent breaks down this guard, he would normally stuff the foot on his hip or thigh between his legs. To recover, you use a collar grip to pull down his head and lift his hip.
